   Hi, Paul!  Recently you wrote in a message to Ardith Hinton:   
      
    AK>  making you miss that low catch in the gully   
    AK>  on the last ball of the last over."   
      
    AH>  Paul, where are you?  This sounds like something   
    AH>  to do with the game of cricket... about which I   
    AH>  know very little although it is popular in the UK.   
    AH>  At the end of an afternoon or evening game when   
    AH>  sunset is rapidly approaching, however, I imagine   
    AH>  the ball could be difficult to track.   
      
    PQ>  I desperately wanted to inject some comment,   
      
      
              I'm glad Alexander & I inspired you to respond.  I was beginning to   
   wonder how you were doing because you hadn't posted in E_T for awhile....  :-)   
      
      
      
    PQ>  but it is an English game; not Aussie.   
      
      
              That is the impression I got from various other things I'd read.  I   
   wasn't sure if you might have learned about cricket during your younger years,   
   however, and when I looked up "gully" the only dictionaries which mentioned it   
   with reference to the sport employed even more jargon I don't understand.  :-Q   
      
      
      
    PQ>  All I really know is that we enjoy beating the   
    PQ>  English bastards, 'at their own game'.   
      
      
              :-))
